Manifestation of the halo structure in momentum distributions from 6He fragmentation
Abstract Experimental data on the momentum distribution in the fragmentation of a 240 MeV/u 6 He beam on a carbon target are compared with several models of the 6 He nucleus based on different physical assumptions. It is shown that the lack of a strict theoretical description of the fragmentation mechanism and, in particular, of the final state interaction prevents any contra or versa arguments for these models. The requirement of fragment ( 5 He) survival or spatial localization of a fragment in the 6 He wave function is an essential point in the reaction mechanism. The analysis of the 5 He momentum (sum of the neutron and the α-particle momenta) distribution is free from the effect of fin…

The β2p decay mechanism of Ar
We have measured the beta-decay of Ar-31 with a high granularity setup sensitive to multiparticle decay branches. Two-proton emission is observed from the isobaric analog state in Cl-31 to the four lowest states in P-29 and furthermore from a large number of states fed in Gamow-Teller transitions. The mechanism of two-proton emission is studied via energy and angular correlations between the two protons. In all cases the mechanism is found to be sequential yielding information about states in S-30 up to 8 MeV excitation energy. Improved data on the beta-delayed one-proton branches together with the two-proton data provide precise information about the beta-strength distribution up to 15 MeV…
Determination of the spin of 31Ar
Abstract The beta-delayed proton emission from the lightest Ar-isotopes has been recorded with a high-granularity, large solid-angle Si-detector set-up. Proton energy shifts due to beta-recoil have been measured. We demonstrate how this allows the spin of 31 Ar to be determined as 5/2. The method can be applied at decay rates as low as 1 s −1 .

Halo excitations in fragmentation of He at 240 MeV/u on carbon and lead targets
Dissociation of a 240 MeV/u beam of He-6, incident on carbon and lead targets, has been studied in kinematically complete experiments to investigate low-lying excitation modes in the halo nucleus He-6. It is shown that alignment effects characterize the inelastic scattering and allow an unambiguous assignment of the spin of a narrow resonance observed in the excitation energy spectrum. The differential cross sections for the He-6 inelastic scattering on carbon and lead targets were deduced from the measured moments of the two neutrons and the a-particle. An analysis of these distributions shows that quadrupole and, possibly, monopole excitations characterize the hadronic interaction, while …
